Dive-site story
Positioned at the tip of the Stonington peninsula where Fishers Island Sound opens up, this coastal site offers direct shoreline access to classic southern New England waters. Divers navigate submerged granite riprap, scattered boulder fields, and mixed sediment patches that harbor regional bottom-dwellers. Because of its exposed geography at the harbor mouth, planning the dive around slack water is crucial for avoiding strong drift.
